Damon is reading here from his Evidentiary Abuse Affidavit,a legal document he wrote attesting under oath to the abuse he suffered by his father. This affidavit, just like the forensic videotape and all the other crucial evidence of abuse, has been deliberately disregarded and concealed by by three family court judges and appellate court justices as well (see below).

Nancy Lee GrahnActress and Advocate for Damon

"Yes indeed, who would take the word of a mere child over that of a beloved coach like Jerry Sandusky about sexual abuse? Even though we know that such terrible crimes are far too common and the numbers are staggering, we can’t believe it.

...Watch this video and read the account of Damon, a young man who pleaded with a family court judge when he was a child not to force him to go on visits to the father who was sexually abusing him. But the judge wouldn’t listen to him. After all, Damon was just a kid. And so Damon kept going on those visits. And kept getting raped. For years.

...If enough of them come forward and enough of us start to listen, maybe one day one day when the question is asked — who would believe a kid? — the answer will be different."Note: As one can see from the judges' quotes below, even when the children are believed, family court policy is to 'reunify' them with the predator, because it is their father. We need to close this 'incest loophole' in family courts, just as it was closed in criminal courts in 2006.

Coach Joe Paterno Empowered Sandusky

The Freeh Report on the Penn State cover up of sexual abuse mirrors the cover up in Family Courts.

The report confirms that for 14 years, officials 'repeatedly concealed critical facts', 'showed callous and shocking disregardfor the victims' and 'empowered the predator'.

Jerry Sandusky and Joe Paterno

Judge Michael T. Smyth Empowered Moelter

Judge Smyth was the first judge who'repeatedly concealed critical facts','showed callous and shocking disregard' for Damon, and 'empowered the predator', just like Penn State officials.

"...even if [the sexual abuse] happened, the only way this family is going to move forward and you’re going to keep these kids is if, from here on out, you’re acting like it didn’t happen." Judge Smyth to Damon's mother, January 22, 2004

Damon continued to be brutally sexually assaulted until Damon's mom took him into hiding on November 5, 2004.

Judge Michael T. Smyth

Judge Lorna Alksne Empowered Moelter

Judge Alksne was the second judge who'repeatedly concealed critical facts','showed callous and shocking disregard' for Damon, and 'empowered the predator'.

The Appellate Court completely disregarded the central fact that the trial court never did an investigation as per Family Code 3118, the law specifically enacted to protect children from sexual abuse. They colluded with the trial court in concealing critical evidence, including the forensic interview and Damon's in chambers testimony. That makes all of their findings, opinions and order of affirmation invalid.

The justices simply regurgitated the fraudulent findings of their colleague (who sits in on the Appellate Court to curry favor), fabricated and distorted facts, and selectively quoted things favorable to Moelter. They did not cite any factual support for Alksne's findings because there is none.

DeAnn SalcidoWhistleblower Judge

"I became a whistleblower, knowing I would face retaliation and possibly lose my job. I did this because I made a deep personal decision that I could no longer remain silent about court bias. The court culture that exists harms women and children, especially those who raise abuse in court. Together we can make this a national campaign to reform Family Court."

Judge Salcido was told by the presiding judge that she must "go along to get along" and "dismiss women's and children's reports of abuse". She was forced off the bench.

"What has happened in Damon's case is a clear example of the well-documented phenomenon of family courts discounting clear evidence of sexual abuse, improperly ascribing malevolent motives to mothers attempting to protect their abused children, and then placing the children in the custody of the fathers who victimized them."

Richard Ducote is a consultant on Damon's case. He wrote this document which shows that Judge Smyth was in excess of jurisdiction by giving custody/visitation to Moelter as he had not complied with the minimum investigation required by Family Code 3118 and had relied on a flawed report by his court-appointed psychologist. Mr. Ducote also wrote the Opening Appellate Brief in the case.

"I consult in a lot of cases where mothers lose custody of sexually abused children to the perpetrators of the abuse. And there are courts around the country where such are the relationships between the Bar and the judge and the appointed child’s attorney or guardian ad litem that very frequently there’s a similar pattern of collusion, if not corruption. I’ve got one case on my roster right now which is very Penn State-like. It involves a prominent university, one of whose faculty members has done terrible things and everybody’s ganged up against the mother, and he’s now temporarily got custody of the boy that he’s sexually abused. This happens more often then you can believe."

Judge Christine Goldsmithordered Damon into the full custody of his rapiston June 21, 2012, ignoring his plea for help.

Judge Goldsmith is worse than Joe Paterno, et. al., because they "just" looked the other way. She ordered a child into his named molester's full custody and control without any investigation or hearing.

Judge Goldsmith has joined the rest of the family court judges, including Judge Lorna Alksne and Judge Michael Smyth, who cover up sexual abuse and order children into the custody and control of child molesters because it is politically and financially profitable for them. Damons List

Damon was the first minor to hire his own attorney and file his own motion for protection from his abuser under the new California Law, FC 3042. But Judge Goldsmith deliberately sabotaged Damon's courageous attempt at protecting himself, saying there would be no hearing because there had not been a change of circumstance. This is outright fraud because Damon running away and being in hiding for over a year is undeniably a change of circumstance. Also, the previous judge had already decided there had been a change of circumstance, conducted a hearing and made new orders. Not to mention the new law that allowed Damon to file his own motion and speak for himself.

The next step in the pattern of covering up the sexual abuse when a child does not submit to living with his abuser is to silence him for good by sending him to a camp or boarding school. An insider psychologist like Dr. Barrett will say Damon is defiant or oppositional and Damon will disappear into one of these camps where they will torture him into silence and compliance. See: Help At Any Cost.Damon has made it clear that he will not come back to San Diego to face that fate. The only way to avoid that is for his mother to have some legal custody, which is why they are not giving her any.

Recall Judge Christine Goldsmithfor covering up sexual abuse and causing great harm to an innocent child.

"If Damon is not successful in being returned to his mother, he faces a potentially alarming consequence: being sent to a lock-down “behavioral modification” program that uses electric shock among other forms of 'rehabilitation' designed to 'help' kids recant their allegations of sexual abuse (that coincidentally have the magical effect of absolving the abusers of their crimes).

New article by a human rights investigative journalist:A Life SentenceU.S. FAMILY COURTS SACRIFICING MOTHERS & CHILDREN Family Courts Behind an Epidemic of Pedophilia & Judicial Abuseby Keith Harmon Snow

A five month investigation reveals an epidemic of violence and corruption facilitated by Family Courts in the United States. Children all over the United States are being taken from their protective mothers and delivered to abusers.

Behind this epidemic of judicial abuse are organized networks involved in racketeering and corruption, channeling and disappearing billions of dollars of U.S. taxpayers money every year. Insurance companies are being defrauded by medical and mental health professionals rewarded handsomely for producing quack studies that criminalize loving mothers and protect abusive fathers.

With clear evidence of racketeering and corruption, high court judges and insider lawyers use and abuse the Family Courts system to destroy protective mothers and deliver life sentences of suffering to innocent children. Rich, poor, middle-class....No child in America is safe.

Illegal Guardians:When judges award child custody to abusive parents, the family court system is broken.

Joyanna Silberg, a psychologist with the Baltimore-based Leadership Council on Child Abuse and Interpersonal Violence, says this drive to assure each party due parental rights has evolved into a form of judicial prejudice. In cases where abuse accusations are true, she says, this prejudice has the practical affect of abetting the abuser. "What it is, is a family court culture that seems to be about dividing property," she says. "It's not about seeing whether a crime is committed."

"Like the Catholic Church, Penn State and Syracuse University, the custody court system is a powerful institution with substantial resources and a strong moral reputation. This has helped them put off the day they will be exposed. Their advantages have provided extra time but inevitably a sensational case or a prize winning journalist will expose the continuing scandal and the rest of the media will jump onboard."

A list of judges and other court officials who cover up abuse and enable child molesters and abusers:DamonsList.org

This is the torture Damon is escaping by being in hiding from the court and his father.

Finally, a video of this secretive use of a barbaric treatment got out to the public.

Electric shock and other forms of torture are used in expensive behavioral modification centers to silence children of well-off fathers about sexual abuse.

These 'treatment' centers make a fortune 'breaking' children, i.e. torturing them into silence and compliance.Electric shock therapy is just one of the many tortures these centers use on children.See: Help At Any Cost for more.

Damon's father, Eric Moelter, and his stepmother, Nicole Peill Moelter, tried to send Damon to one of these lock-down 'kid prisons' to torture him into recanting the sexual abuse, but Judge Alksne wanted to try a local psychologist first to keep the $ and control in San Diego.

So she appointed Dr. Breffni Barrett, an insider psychologist experienced in coercing children to recant paternal sexual abuse. Eric paid over $20,000 to Dr. Barrett, and more to the court-appointed therapist, Dr. Craig Carlson, to help him convince the boys that he did not abuse Damon.See: Damon to Camp?andBrainwashing Damon and his brothers

The coercive persuasion tactics worked on Damon's brothers, but not on Damon.Nobody could convince him that he did not experience years of sexual assaults.So Judge Alksne declared Damon 'psychologically impaired' (because he still 'believed' his father abused him) and suggested sending him to one of these out-of-state, lock-down facilities where they can use any form of torture to silence kids because they are unregulated.

Eric Moelter and Nicole Peill Moelter

Judge Lorna A. Alksne

Damon's brothers were traumatized and Stockholmed by being deprived of their mom, their primary bond, and anyone who believed Damon, for an extended period of time. The goal is to break the bond with the protective parent so they will be vulnerable. Not surprisingly, they now believe Eric that he didn't really abuse Damon. Siding with the abuser is a survival mechanism, especially when they're forced to be dependent on him, like Damon's brothers were.

Abusers and their judicial enablers have this process of Stockholming childrendown to a science, often using it to silence them about sexual abuse by a father. See: Damon's List

Although this loyalty to the abuser allows Damon's brothers to survive and cope, it is very harmful psychologically because it causes a split in the psyche: deep down Damon's brothers know their brother is telling the truth and wish they could help him. They even admit to having to 'compartmentalize' (i.e. split off the truth) encouraged by the very unethical psychologists, Dr. Breffni Barrett and Dr. Craig Carlson. Also, Eric and Nicole have convinced Damon's brothers that their mother is lying, mentally ill and to blame for everything.

What Eric and Nicole are doing to Damon's brothers is serious psychological abuse with lasting consequences, including disruptions in their personality and emotional development. Hopefully someday the boys will know the truth about they did to them and be able to heal from this horrible trauma.

Damon, despite having been sexually abused and having to be in hiding, is actually doing better psychologically than his brothers because he is able to live the truth and not be split or experience the emotional abuse his brothers are enduring. He does not have to live the lies that Eric and Nicole are foisting on his brothers.

Damon's plea to D.A. Bonnie Dumanis to Help Protect HimShe is completely ignoring him and has TOTAL DISREGARD for himShe will not even investigate.
